1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Cabriolet Decapotable
Alfa Romeo’s first eight-cylinder road car was introduced in 1931 as a successor to the 6C 1750. This was the legendary 8C 2300, designed by the equally legendary Vittorio Jano who was one of the first automotive engineers to create high-performance cars that were tailor-made for sustained full-throttle running on high-speed roads – all with the purpose of keeping Alfa Romeo at the forefront of international motor racing. Jano succeeded: the 8C would prove a formidable weapon, winning race after race in the first half of the 1930s, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times with among others, Luigi Chinetti, Tazio Nuvolari, and Raymond Sommer as drivers.
The heart of this formidable machine is its supercharged, straight-eight, twin-overhead-camshaft engine, which Jano arranged in effect as two four-cylinder units in tandem with the cam-drive gears amidships. Bore and stroke were 66 x 88 mm giving 2,336 cc, while the twin-lobe Roots-type supercharger was driven at 1.33-times crankshaft speed. The Corto (short) chassis had a wheelbase of 2.75 meters, and the Lungo (long) version one of 3.1 meters. Boasting a four-speed manual gearbox and powerful drum brakes all round, these Alfa Romeos were genuine 100 mph cars, reliably producing over 140 horsepower at 5,000 rpm. 1934 was the last year of manufacture of the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300.
Don DeFore’s Silver Banjo Entrance Sign.
(Disneyland, 1957) The original lighted entrance sign for Don DeFore’s Silver Banjo Barbecue in Frontierland. From 1957 to 1962, this banjo-shaped sign hung over the popular restaurant, inviting guests in for a meal presented by popular film and television star, Don DeFore. The restaurant closed in 1961 to allow for an expansion of Aunt Jemima’s Kitchen. Original artifacts from this short-lived early Frontierland location are some of the most difficult to come by. This one-of-a-kind original sign features hand-painted lettering and a metal body, and has been fitted with an electrical plug for a stunning lighted display. Following the closure of the restaurant, DeFore kept this sign and displayed it for many years in his home. This sign comes from the collection of Disneyland historian and author of “Growing Up in Disneyland,” Ron DeFore, Don DeFore’s son. Measuring approximately 58″ tall, the sign is in very good overall condition with expected minor wear throughout from use and age. This item will require special shipping arrangements, please inquire for details and estimates.
